Going to the beach this weekend
Well, this aint mundane news, but...
I proposed to my girl day after Valentine's day. I got her a sweet ring 1.68 ct, color H, si2. She got my wedding band.
We set our tentative date for October 4th. We first met on the 6th but it falls on a Monday so... This weekend we are going to look at reception & ceremony places. We are going to do the beach wedding, probably on Clearwater Beach. Then we are going to do a cruise for the honeymoon, she does not like to fly.
I have had a few relationships where the wedding idea was kicked around, but I never really proposed, set a date or got a ring. So hopefully this one goes off.
We talked about me adopting her daughter. The father is cool with it, which is good, and I want to do it. Her son (different father) is older and probably should not be adopted, but I think we need to make sure he understands why and that it is not because I don't want that.
Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Adoption ROCKS! Definitely if the father is insane enough to let you, do it!
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

The Scientologist are in Fort Harrison, not far from the beach, but its a quite different vibe.
Damo, why would he need to be insane? Because it is me?

Yeah, that's true. But if you can't truly commit to it for whatever reason, better to step aside than to fail the child.

Bad advice damo............
RS is in boing...not a good time to make heavy decisions...suppose he marries this girl and takes her advice and adopts her child from another guy...remember she did not suggest adopting the older male child...then say in a year or two she gets bored with him and divorces him...well not rocket science,but she goes back to the childs father and who gets stuck with child support!

Nah.RS is in boing...not a good time to make heavy decisions...suppose he marries this girl and takes her advice and adopts her child from another guy...remember she did not suggest adopting the older male child...then say in a year or two she gets bored with him and divorces him...well not rocket science,
The male child is 12 and his father is in his life, somewhat. So, I don't see adopting him, unless the boy wants it strongly. His father is an ahole who pays child support, occassionally (she does not really pursue him for it), but he makes some attempt, anyway.
It won't be right away, adopting the daughter. And I know what it means. I explained to her that it would mean I could challenge for custody, visitation and would be liable for child support in case of a split.
I am rolling in it anyway. Why do you think I blew 2300 on Ron Paul.

Good for you...however being that you are rolling in it...say the support would be $1200.00per month times say 12 years give or take a few depending on her age...you are looking at over $172,000.00 in support until she becomes say 18years of age...carry on 'Ritchie Rich'!
